SW showingbetter recovery at early time after which SW2 performs better, due to a strongerrelease of Ca 2+ ions from the rock, which in turn contributes to a change ofwetting state.steady state of the β ca , β mg and β na is not reached for the duration of the example. Fig. 20 showsthe concentrations of the different ions along the core at various times. As a consequence of thelarge adsorption of Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ ions on the rock surface, there exists certain regions along thecore where the Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ concentrations are below the injected and initial concentrations.The Na + ions are desorbed from the rock surface and this desorption is responsible for the Na +concentration profile seen in Fig. 20. The Cl − acts as a tracer and is neither desorbed or adsorbed.
